Week 20 - Layers of the Atmosphere

Today we learned about the layers of the Atmosphere. We made a model of the layers using aquarium rocks and recycled glass bottles along with some labels I found that worked well. The pictures I used to label our bottles are from http://www.theozonehole.com/atmosphere.htm. I attached the label with mod podge and then some of us glued/packing taped the larger label to the side and others used rubber bands after hole punching. Both worked well and it was just a matter of personal preference.

Hi Melody - I wish I had a plan with the colors - they were just the ones that were available at Walmart that day I needed them. If I had thought it out better, I would have tried to match the colors to the label. However, they didn't have those colors at Walmart and I didn't have time to go elsewhere. Have a blessed day!
